IO Link control
The IO link control works ok, but testing it under my 300mhz Win98SE machine, I click the link, and have to wait around 3-5 minutes until the link url actually opens.
In that 3-5 minutes, the application is shown to be frozen, and not responding.

I'm sure that this will cause problems with some installs, where the user will think the installer has crashed and will terminate it.
When this happened to me, I had about 2 files left locked in my $TEMP dir which I could not delete (through Windows).

I had the same problem with the internet explorer some time ago with icq
could you pls try something?
open an internet explorer window, click tools, internet options, advanced tab, then under browsing you will find 'enable third-party browser extentions (requires restart)', disable this option, close internet explorer and try to click the link in your setup again...

It happens when Internet Explorer or whatever browser you're using takes long time to load. A possible solution (on the program side) is to open a new thread for the call. This way the UI stays responsive. We'll add it.

I attempted that, and internet explorer just latches up.
I've got a fresh install of everything on this PC too - reformated less than a month ago.
